Hakim agrees to one-year deal

spkb25 · 06-19-2005, 05:48 PM

i don't think it will be the beerman and i could be very wrong but i don't think it will be the beerman. i don't think it will be devry. it could be the beerman only because hakim could take over there. i don't want him too the guy has the ability to drop the ball. i would just as soon let gardner go. he hasn't done much.

It was because of the extra 100K he received for coming to New Orleans nothing more.

Devery has definately let some people down. He really hasn't done much. I don't think the FO is ready to give up on him yet. He's young and fast and they will probably give him at least one more season after this one to step up. It would be terrible to see Beerman go to another team, then burn us on a KO or a Punt Return. I say give Beerman one more year to get back to his old self. I think he can this season. Between Beerman and Hakim, I take Beerman. Besides if they really want to, they can put Devery on Punt and Kick Returns if they are worried about what to do if Beerman gets hurt. I'm not saying Hakim isn't a decent pick-up, I'm just saying not at the expense of losing a guy like Lewis. Besides, Beerman is a pretty good WR when he is in there.

He hasn't signed yet... offered a contract thats it so far. I also hear its going to be a 2-3 year deal.

??? With the addition of Hakim & 4th rd wr it seems that we are overstocked at WR. My question is if Lyman is on IR for the season what are the chances of retaining Beerman & Gardner?

I see Lewis gone, he hasn't been able to compete at WR and aging. Henderson Gardner to say.

I wouldn't be upset if they cut Beerman. He is 34 or 35 isn't he?. And, it doesn't seem like he attacks punt or kick returns the way he did his first year. If the team doesn't make a hole, or clear the sideline, he is either falling down or scooting out of bounds. He just doesn't seem as dangerous any more, and it's not like he is a big target in the passing game. I really wouldn't miss him or Gardner. There's no way they cut Devery. If Sully is still here, Devery will still be here. They just need to get him on the jugs machine like they did Lewis after his first year to improve his hands.

Lyman is out and Henderson is already nursing a hamstring. Looking at the unoffical Depth chart they have Horn,Stallworth,Henderson,Gardner, and Lewis. They have Lewis, Stallworth and Stecker down as kick returners. Lewis is probably most expendable at the WR posistion but do you risk an injury to Stallworth returning punts? I'd scratch Henderson and add Hakim if the hamstring persists. I can't see anyone getting cut that has already been out in the field with this bunch. Unknown performance and injuries make it a tough call. I'd keep beerman becuse of experience alone. He has caught some big passes and made some key returns last year when we needed them. Although I wouldn't be sad if anyone got cut besides Horn. My prediction is Horn,Stallworth,Hakim,Gardner,Lewis. Probably have Poole as a backup and Rotate Henderson in when he gets past injury.

Lewis is 36-37... I think he is done. He really hasn't been the WR they have hoped he would develop into and taking up a roster spot just as a KR/PR when you have a WR who can do it as well... seems suspect to me.

The only one I see not making it is Lewis, Gardner seems suspect to so he'd better have a good camp or else he's gone.

lynwood · 06-20-2005, 11:03 AM

We have 12 WR on the roster. It will be 13 when Hakim signs. Of those 6 are rookies or 1 year expeience. Henderson has 2 years and has yet to see the field. So far I hear it takes 3 to four years to develop in to a quality WR. So if this is supposed to be a make or break year do you put into the rookies hands or go with experience? I do not see them cutting Lewis. Even if all he does is return balls.
